  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I have soundings in the EOL sounding composite format. Is there an easy way
to transition these to any of the accepted formats for ASCII2NC given the
MET collaboration with NCAR?

Thanks,
Jeremiah

Hello,

I see you want to use MET's ascii2nc tool for your EOL soundings.  I'm
assigning this ticket to Howard Soh, our resident ascii2nc expert.
Please
allow a few business days to receive a reply.

Regards,
Minna

ASCII2NC does not accept the sounding data.

One option is adding the EOL sounding data reader for ASCII2NC.
The other option is converting the sounding text data for ASCII2NC
(11-column text file).

ASCII2NC expects 11 columns ASCII input. They are:
  - header type (string)
  - station id (string)
  - valid_time: yyyymmdd_hhmmdd
  - lat
  - lon
  - elevation
  - grib_code or short variable name
  - pressure
  - observation height
  - QC value
  - observation value

Note:
- Let's assume the header type is "EOLSND"
- The missing value for MET is -9999.

The first option requires new development at MET.
The second option can be done by you.

I will close this ticket if no more issues.

From: Jeremiah Otero Piersante

Apologies for not getting back sooner. Thanks for sending an example
as
well.

As for the first option -- it seems ideal because it doesn't require
me
hard-coding text files into the desired 11 column format. However, if
that
development hasn't been added into MET yet, it's not really possible
at
this point in time, right?

If that is the case I'll get started on reformatting the EOL sounding
data.

Thanks,
Jeremiah

I created a git issue (https://github.com/NCAR/MET/issues/1164) as the
enhancement. This new requirement will be reviewed.

Cheers,
Howard
